These seem too good to be true. I can't see where it says they are run flat (which I don't want any way.)

I can't believe you found 0W-40 in the big jug size. I've been looking for that for years (only weight I ever put in my Saabs.) Good to know it now exists.

I look forward to seeing the prototypes! Someone must have tried this before. It'd be nice if they could be installed without having to remove the seat skin.

The two torx bolts that secure the top to the brackets are M8 x 18 and they have an 0-ring on them. Part # 54218410534. They are pricey.

I had no idea that it tucked in so nicely. I was laying it on top and thought it looked a little warped. Thanks for the tip, Randy!

Thanks, that's what I will do. I'm guessing the stock pump has a plastic impeller and everyone seems to prefer metal, so I was hoping there was an alternative.

Everyone seems to have a favorite pump for their 6 cyls, is there a preferred pump for a 1998 1.9, and is the need to replace at 60k as real? I just acquired one with 68k.

That looks great! How did you do it? Just remove the cassette holder insert and line it with black felt material? Looks very professional. On my short list of things to do.
